Concerning the question of language: In the Kitáb-i-Aqdas
hath been revealed that which is sufficient unto all.... “O members of
parliaments throughout the world! Select ye a single language for the use of
all on earth....” And this categorical ordinance is revealed from the Ancient
Realm of Glory for the people of the world in general and the members of
parliaments in particular, inasmuch as the application of the laws and
ordinances revealed in the Book hath been left to the men of divine Houses of
Justice. This command is the greatest means of unity and the most powerful
cause of fellowship and solidarity among the people of the world. - Baha’u’llah (‘Additional Tablets and Extracts from Tablets Revealed by Bahá’u’lláh’; Baha’i
